The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 167 Secret
"They all said that the goods were lost on the way. My elder brother went to look for them in a small boat alone. He encountered a mountain torrent along the way, separated from the caravan, and never came back. But now is not the season of frequent torrents. I don’t know how many times my brother has passed by, how could it be such a coincidence that he died this time?”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ziruo became agitated, and tears welled up in his eyes, "My brother and I grew up by the water. The floods in the south were so severe that they didn't take away the lives of my brother and sister. My brother is good at water. , there are many inns built by the Jiang family along the canal, if he falls into the water, it is impossible not to come back."

Shu Yao tilted her head, "Then where do you think your brother is now?"

Jiang Ziruo smiled bitterly, "This matter is a bit mysterious...but my brother and I are twins. We grew up together in the womb of our mother, and we have a feeling in the dark. I believe that my brother must be alive, and when he left I'm not far away. I guess he did something to cut off other people's way, so he was locked up."

After all, looking at the girl's pure almond eyes, Jiang Ziruo felt remorse in his heart.This is a secret matter of the Jiang family, why did she accidentally reveal it?Her father, Jiang Min, never believed in the government, and believed that the people in the government were hypocritical, treacherous and greedy. Even though Jiang Zian had disappeared for half a month, his father still did not report to the government, but told her that many people had been sent out to look for her.More importantly, Jiang Ziruo always felt that his father was not as anxious as she was, as if he knew that his brother would disappear.

She didn't know why, but in front of this man and woman, Jiang Ziruo suddenly had the desire to confide.The people from the capital are of extraordinary background, can they help her?
Beside Shu Yao, Li Mingji bent his fingers, tapped on the table lightly, and suddenly said, "Do you have someone to suspect?"

Jiang Ziruo was taken aback, a little surprised, but dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote the word "Xiao" on the table stroke by stroke.

Li Mingji said: "Miss Jiang Er, those hidden guards on the beam of your room have been invited out by my people, you can tell me directly."

Someone really is watching her!

Jiang Ziruo was horrified, and looked at Shu Yao and Li Mingji with a little more respect.She lowered her eyes and said, "I suspect my elder brother's wife, Xiao Sui."

In the previous life, Li Ming was far away in the capital, and Xiao Sui didn't let him interfere in Yangzhou's internal affairs. He didn't expect to make such a trip, and there were many interesting discoveries.Li Mingji raised his eyebrows calmly, interest flashed across his eyes.

He signaled Jiang Ziruo to continue.

"He is not only the wife of my elder brother and me, but also the leader of the Blackwater Gang, the largest Cao gang in Yangzhou. He came to Jiangfu ten years ago. My father trusted him very much. Everyone in the house called him 'Mr.'. I have searched In the whole mansion, only the west courtyard where he lives, I have never been in. I guess if my elder brother is in the mansion, it is very likely that he will be locked up in the west courtyard."

There is a estrangement between the foster son and him, and the students don't trust him. This person is really a failure in life.Thinking of the wound on Li Mingji's forehead, Shu Yao felt contemptuous in her heart, with such a gloomy appearance, she knew he must not be a good person.

"Elder brother and Xiao Sui... are at odds," Jiang Ziruo paused, "I have seen my elder brother leave the west courtyard angrily more than once, and he seems to have had a dispute with Xiao Sui, and he also told me that he doesn't really want to inherit Jiang He would rather not be a child of the Jiang family."

Jiang Ziruo said distressedly: "I suspect that Xiao Sui has long been dissatisfied with his brother. But I can't figure it out. He has so many opportunities to fight, why did he choose last month?"

Shu Yao said casually: "What secret did you break through and kill to silence it?"

Jiang Ziruo shook his head with a wry smile: "The Jiang family and the Black Water Gang are originally one. As the heir of the Jiang family, how can elder brother have any secrets with Xiao Sui?"

It was precisely because she knew Xiao Sui's significance to the Jiang family that she did not dare to suspect Xiao Sui. He had no motive to attack Jiang Zian.And...Jiang Ziruo couldn't help thinking, in front of his children and Xiao Sui, how would their father, who regards career as his life, make a choice?

"In a few days, the Jiangnan and Jiangbei gangs will gather in Yangzhou, and my father and Xiao Sui will both leave the mansion. I originally wanted to use this time to recruit relatives, using my grandmother's sickness as an excuse to stay in Jiang's mansion and continue looking for my brother," she said. Sighing, "If I haven't found it this time...Maybe, my intuition is wrong."

These days, Jiang Zi is walking on thin ice.Her father, wife, and those in the house who watched her grow up seemed to be wearing a mask of hypocrisy. She didn't know who to trust, who to suspect, especially after finding out that she seemed to be being watched, even Looking for her brother, she didn't dare to tell the people around her, she could only rely on herself.

But the man and woman in front of her were clearly outsiders meeting for the first time, but she couldn't help but confide in her heart.Is it because you know that they came from the capital and don't know anything about Yangzhou, so you can chat with them without any burden?

"Anyway," Jiang Ziruo said, "the matter of recruiting relatives is just a misunderstanding, I will explain it to my father. If you two don't mind, you can stay in Jiangfu for dinner before leaving."

Shu Yao blinked: "What about you?"

"I've never thought of getting married," Jiang Ziruo smiled, and his eyes became brighter. "I've wanted to be a big businessman like my father since I was a child. Why can men be in business but women can't? My brother and I His facial features are almost exactly the same. In the past, I often pretended to be him to represent him. I have solved many troubles for him in the past two years. I must guard the Jiang family well."

"If you trust me, I can get someone to help you," Shu Yao said, "My... well, fiance, he can help you."

She has hugged and kissed her. The relationship between her and Li Mingji is indeed no different from that of an unmarried couple.But the word "fiancé" was really hot on the lips, Shu Yao blushed while talking.

It's all Li Mingji's fault, what kind of identity do you pretend to be?At this time, don't you feel that you have committed a crime?However, it is said that caring leads to chaos, Li Mingji became so angry because of her, thinking of this, sweetness flashed across Shu Yao's heart again.

Jiang Ziruo couldn't help but glance at Li Mingji.The young man's brows are sparse, and they are covered by a silver mask, so it is hard to get along with them at first sight.In addition, he easily dealt with the person who watched her. I'm afraid the city is extremely deep. How could such a person easily listen to the words of a little lady like Shu Yao and cause trouble for the Jiang family?
"You two are willing to take the time to listen to me, I am very grateful, how dare you bother the two of you." Jiang Ziruo shook his head.

Shu Yao didn't find it troublesome, it was just a matter of saying a few words, and she was not the one doing the work.Mrs. Jiang was very lively in the attic, why is she so cramped now?Li Mingji must have scared her.

She glanced at Li Mingji, and said to Jiang Ziruo: "You don't have to worry about him, he listens to me. Do you need our help?"
